Not sure if I understood your issue completely…

If you have a PDF which includes both the scanned bitmap as well as the plain 
text from OCR, you can use command line tools like “pdftotext” (on Debian in 
the ”poppler-utils” package) or similar to extract the latter.

If the quality of the scan (as you mentioned) is somewhat bad, but you can 
access a higher quality scan as PDF, have a look at OCRmyPDF 
(<https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF>).  It runs tesseract as OCR engine on 
the PDF input, producing a combined bitmap/text PDF output, with the ability to 
write the OCR output to a different file (have a look at the “--sidecar” 
option).

Once you have the plain-text output, it should be feasible to write a script 
(python, perl, whatever) to extract the relevant data as CSV.
